15.1Introduction
The section describes the AT commands used to configure the GPIO pins provided by u-blox cellular modules.
15.1.1GPIO functions
On u-blox cellular modules, GPIO pins can be opportunely configured as general purpose input or output.
Moreover GPIO pins of u-blox cellular modules can be configured to provide custom functions via +UGPIOC
AT command. The custom functions availability can vary depending on the u-blox cellular modules series and
version: see Table 16 for an overview of the custom functions supported by u-blox cellular modules.

Table 16: GPIO custom functions overview
The configuration of the GPIO pins (i.e. the setting of the parameters of the +UGPIOC AT command) is saved
in the NVM and used at the next power-on.
15.1.2GPIO mapping
The number of available GPIO pins and their mapping can vary depending on the u-blox cellular modules series
and version. The GPIOs mapping for different u-blox cellular modules is reported in the following tables.
See the corresponding module system integration manual for the functions supported by each GPIO.
